Also check out Christopher Finlan’s great blog post walking through the creation of KPIs and mobile reports in great detail. Christopher has written a number of popular posts about Datazen and now joins the Reporting Services team.

– Do I 100% need to use PowerBI to access mobile reports or will it work via regular browser as well (on a phone)?
– What are the SQL Server 2016 edition requirements for mobile reports? I assume SQL BI or Enterprise Edition only?

1. On a phone (or tablet), you can view mobile reports either in the Power BI native mobile app or in the mobile web portal – whichever you prefer.
2. Information on the editions and features will be available soon as we approach RTM.

I have a Samsung galaxy note 5. The screen resolution allows me to view the same amount of information as on my laptop with a 17” FHD Display.
Yet when I view this reports you handle me as a phone. My screen can display more tiles than most tablets and I want to be able to zoom out to see this amount of information.
Same goes for reporting services.
Is there a way that I can set my device to allow more?

Thanks for the feedback – is the issue when you are looking at the report in portrait mode, landscape mode, or both? Also, was there a version of the report created for each form factor available (Desktop/Tablet/Mobile)?

Let us know,

Chris

I created a dashboard using SQL Mobile Report Publisher and published it to the server. After Publishing when I view that dashboard from the server I can also see the top shared area in screen. (The area with “SQL Server Reporting Services, Favorites, Browse, Settings, Download, Help etc”). Is there any way that I can view only the dashboard in full screen.
